Abstract: The method involves managing a payment process over a telecommunication network (TKN) between a paying party (PEE) which requests a service, and a paid party (PER). A network interface (S2) is arranged between the telecommunication network (TKN) and an intelligent network (INN), in which payment accounts for the paying party and the paid party are managed by a service control place (SCP).  A communications interface (Sl, S3) is arranged between the telecommunication network and the paying party, as well as the paid party. Messages are transferred over the arranged interfaces, through which the payment process for the requested service is performed by the service control place in the intelligent network.

Abstract: Device for opening and closing the stopper on a reagent vessel in a partially or fully automated analyzer. A device for opening and closing the stopper on a reagent vessel in a partially or fully automated analyzer includes a ramm movable between resting and working positions, that can engage a catch on the stopper, and by the automatic movement of the vess the stopper is opened at least enough for a transfer pipette to effect liquid transfer, after which the stopper is reclosed. The rammer is moved between its two positions by a device that is driven by the movement of the carrier for the pipette needle or by movement of a device that causes movement of this carrier. An Independent claim is also included for a method for opening and closing the stopper on a reagent vessel, using the new device.

Abstract: The thermal circuit breaker and switch has fixed and movable contacts,
and non-conductive contact and trip actuators. The movable contact is provided on the
free end of a lever arm that normally biases the movable contact toward its open
position. The contact actuator transfers movement from a rocker or operator to the
movable contact arm when no overload condition exists. The trip actuator is L shaped
and rotates in a socket when engaged by a thermally sensitive bi-metallic element so as
to allow one end of the contact actuator to float freely, allowing the movable contact
arm's bias to open the circuit. The bi-metallic element is so positioned as to engage and
rotate the trip actuator only when the bi-metallic element is deformed due to an
overheat condition that occurs with an overcurrent. A compression spring acts between
the upstanding legs of the trip actuator and the underside of the rocker thus biasing the
rocker to the 'off' position and biasing the trip actuator to the 'reset' position.

Abstract: The data transmission method employs IEEE P1394
protocol. The data header of the transmitted isochronous
packet is added with a node identifier identifying the
transmitter node, so that the receiver node can immediately
identify the transmitter node, and can thereby request the
transmitter node to maintain transmission. A Broadcast
channel is a default channel used for isochronous packet
transmission, unless a different channel number is otherwise
specified. Thus, it is not necessary for the user to
coordinate the channel number used by the transmitting and
receiver nodes. It is also not necessary for the transmitter
node to notify the receiver node, or the receiver node to
notify the transmitter node, of the channel number used.
